Description Specificity Recognizes Synaptotagmin I, luminal part. The epitope does not share homology with any other known proteins. SPECIES REACTIVITIES: It is expected that the antibody will also recognize human. Other species have not been tested. Immunogen Epitope: luminal part Peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-19 from rat Synaptotagmin I (Accession # P21107). Application Detect Synaptotagmin I using this Anti-Synaptotagmin I Antibody, luminal part validated for use in WB, IH. Research Category Neuroscience Research Sub Category Synapse & Synaptic Biology Western blot: 1:200-1:1,000 using ECL on rat brain membranes. Immunohistochemistry on rat brain sections. Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%) Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user. Physical form Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA, 5% sucrose as a stabilizer and 0.025% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min). Storage and Stability Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note Control CONTROL ANTIGEN: Included free of charge with the antibody is 20 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile deionized water. For negative control, preincubate 1 μg of peptide with 1 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user. Other Notes Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
